Bill was so perceptive and levelheaded - his views on privacy are spot on. Once again, thank you for another segment with him - very much appreciated! He was one of a kind.

Bill Holden was always so insightful and articulate. Its really refreshing to get to see everyone on the stage engaged in that level of conversation. So civilised and professional.

He clearly thought deeply about many things and perhaps was weighed down by them. It's good to see that despite his demons he presented himself as sharp and lucid. Great actor.

This was great thank you for Part 2. Bill's views on privacy are so prevalent today, he really nailed it. Bill was so articulate and well spoken. He was spot on in his views as was Eartha Kitt.

Interviews with William Holden are rare and often insightful. There is such a dichotomy between the erudite man we see and hear here and the man he was off camera. A man with many demons, skeletons and a terrible addiction to alcohol. He did guard his privacy: He died alone, never seeking medical attention.

A very intelligent man. His friend Glen Ford said he was found with a phone close by and he thought he didn't call for help because he didnt want the attention and scandal, so sad.

I never knew what a class act William Holden was, it gave me even more respect for him. (Eartha I knew and Dick is as wonderful as he always was.) I wonder what he would have thought of our social media era where we are our own newspapers and there are millions of anonymous Louellas and Heddas...

Bill Holden was pure class and seemed quite intelligent. That year too, Holden starred in one of his greatest films ever: "The Wild Bunch."

@RobinSchoutenRS Жыл бұрын

Holden deserved an Oscar for his role as Pike Bishop in The Wild Bunch. He was absolutely brilliant in it. It's also Peckinpah's greatest film.

@kamuelalee Жыл бұрын

@@RobinSchoutenRS Agreed. Although the film wasn't his last film, I think The Wild Bunch is Holden's swan song as far as acting is concerned. A fantastic anti-hero is how Holden's film characters should be remembered from Stalag 17, to Bridge on the River Kwai, to Sunset Boulevard and ultimately to The Wild Bunch.

@garyspence2128 8 ай бұрын

Don't forget him in Network, which was about five years after Wild Bunch. He carries that film, even though Peter Finch had the flashier role as the unraveling anchorman. Holden was one of the last of the old-school leading men, but always watchable, and very compelling on screen. I grew up watching his films, and would rank him as one of the all-time greats. His remarks about even actors having a right to privacy sound like they could have been made yesterday. Especially as social media seems to be making the very idea of privacy irrelevant...

Reading his bio and throughout his life he would not reconcile the press & public intruding on his privacy. Not that he should have but that coupled with his self-doubts made for much turmoil and his alcoholism was fueled by it.

If gooey means cashing in on others tragedies then money is the reason. I think that means the poor are excused because the one at the center has something they don't. Is it possible it is fooling around to one and a way to teach what happens when the welfare of someone is talked about freely? I think that is what is really being tested.
